How to feel beautiful by Decanta

"Once I decided I should be beautiful I got better at it every day."

How I did it: Practice, practice, practice!
I had to look at my face every morning until it was beautiful. I learned that pampering myself with fun haircuts and makeup isn't only fun, but they can compliment the face, too! Nobody is supermodel perfect, and I don't need to be. I learned to love my face at a glance, to accept compliments and offer them too!

Lessons & tips: One thing people tend to do is pick out every feature of their face and
classify it as horrible or ok. Don't. Don't designate parts of your
face as better than others, see your face as a whole and look past all
the little things- because nobody sees those.

I don't know how many times I have taken a picture of a friend that, in my opinion, looked beautiful, only to have them recoil in disgust and force me to delete it. Just because you see everything that is wrong with yourself does NOT mean others do! Everyone can be beautiful, YOU are beautiful and you could be the only one that doesn't know it yet!
Don't be afraid to compliment others and receive compliments, and know that most people won't lie about how nice your hair looks today.

GAinCA I will wait to find if this will last forever.

Thank you

for the mood boost. I am learning that taking care of myself is the best way to be and feel beautiful. And I think when we feel good about ourselves, it really comes across to others.

Learn something new

Really, Honestly, This was probably the stupidest thing I have read today. Its stupid because girls don’t need make-up, and hair styles to make them “Beautiful.” Self-acceptance and respecting yourself is truly the only thing that makes you beautiful from the inside to the out. I don’t want to sound like a fat old lady here, but, God made you who you are and if you have to go and look at your face every morning to see if your “Beautiful”, You obviously have a low self esteem and care way to much about what other dim-wits think about you.

DearAddieJo

You really didn’t approach this goal with an open mind, as you failed to see what everyone else did – that this is a POSITIVE motivating woman sharing her tools of loving & being happy with herself.
Calling someones writing ‘stupid’, especially a personal goal such as this, is a horribly insensitive cruel thing to do, whether you meant it or not. Everyone deserves to have their own wants & dreams, & looking at all the cheers & comments Decanta has received it’s obvious to me that she’s on to a good thing.
That is all. Think before you preach, you might upset someone.

every1 has 1or2 flaws .some have more if people stop comparing themselves 2 other people they wld think they are beautiful .its different types of beauty some jus more than others .if u take pride in your apperence every time u wake up in the morning u wld feel beautiful dnt jus wake up and wash your face ,wash ,moisturize, and apply makeup,put on a outfit that make your body look good , put on nice shoes ,get your hair done in a way that brings out your face, that looks good on you,make sure you feel like a star be4 you leave the house otherwise you will feel like shit the entire day .sometimes its not how u see yourself its how others see you .other people is not pickin out every flaw .if u look good thats how they see you. have confidence, and most important walk with your head held high then every1 will b turning there head to look at you.and that always makes me feel beautiful
